Bacterial Diversity in Leaf-Cutter Ant Species: Host-Microbe Interactions and Environmental EffectsNARA Subscribed
Historically, studies have sought to identify host-specific factors in host-microbe interactions as a means of understanding evolutionary success. The genus Atta , comprising leaf-cutter ants, is native to the southern Neotropics and obligately mutualistic with cultivated fungi. It hosts a remarkably diverse range of bacterial communities, yet this variability remains poorly understood. Using high-throughput amplicon sequencin...
The IGCP 714 project “3GEO – Geoclimbing & Geotrekking in Geoparks ” is financed by the International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) and supported by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS). In this paper, we report on the results of the first phase of the project focused on the criteria to be adopted to select geodiversity sites equipped for climbing or trekking. The selection of geoclimbing sites and geotrekking r...
Camera trap surveys of A tlantic F orest mammals: A data set for analyses considering imperfect detection (2004–2020)NARA Subscribed
Camera traps became the main observational method of a myriad of species over large areas. Data sets from camera traps can be used to describe the patterns and monitor the occupancy, abundance, and richness of wildlife, essential information for conservation in times of rapid climate and land‐cover changes. Habitat loss and poaching are responsible for historical population losses of mammals in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity...
NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos,...
